eliminating a doppler shift in a rayleigh fading channel

Started by burkaye December 27, 2005
Hi,
I am very new at this topics and I am now studying on an ofdm simulation
with a blind channel estimation.I can do a basic ofdm simulation but in
fact I have a rayleigh fading channel with doppler shift and for making
good blind estimation I must develop some algorithms to eliminate doppler
shifts.Is there anyone that can give me some help?
Thanks for your attention...

Could you explain more detail about what the meaning of eliminating doppler shifts is? To my understating, the amount of doppler shift in the channel is a one which is related to the channel estimation but there is no way to eliminate it since it is already happened. Regarding to the channel estimation, if the amount is large, the period of pilot symbol averaging is to be shorter, otherwise it is to be longer. Note that the longer period of pilot symbol averaing improves the quality of the estimated channel information value, which obviously improves the decoding performance of receivers. To obtain the information related to the amount of dopper shift, we usually estimate the channel correlation coefficient, which is give as a function of the amount of doppler shift. For example, in Rayleigh fading channels, the correlation coefficient is represented as rho = bessel( tau) where tau is the amount of doppler shift. -James Gold
